i like the interior of the Type R.
my Bro-inlaw is hoping to build his own type of supercar next year.
Apparently he told me it is going to be based on the two seater Atom but be a hard top etc.
looking at the designs he has done already it's gonna be an awsum car

Cost on the road will be £40k ish. The guy who did all the suspension for the Ascari is on board to help aswell. it sounds ace. |

Just saw my first new Civic when out for lunch, hadn't realised it was already available in normal spec. Quirky looking, better than the old one IMHO, it's naturally agressive so I'd imagine the new Type R will be tidy, looked less like a hand held vacuum cleaner than the old one.

Like Ash said they know there market so will no way mess it up. |

Like Ash said they know there market so will no way mess it up. They knew the market in 2001 too, blew the competition away. Where everyone else was putting 150-170 bhp engines in their very hottest hatches, Honda came along with a lightweight hatch with 200 bhp! |

The type R might be great engine wise, but the normal civic, which old people buy, is distinctly average compared to the opposition like the MK I focus IMHO. Not too keen on the looks of the civic, and the new focus seems a bit mundane and safe compared to the old one too. Big fan of the styling of the new golf and leon though

It's got to be Ford for me. Honda are a bit too clever and frankly nerdish, whereas if you've got a Ford ST you've got balls and you're probably wearing a pair of designer jeans. I'd kill for an ST, might even go for it in Orange too, though it'd clash with my STFC scarf...
